Privacy Policy

Effective date: Aug 6, 2026  |  Last updated: Aug 6, 2026

Complete Car Loans (“Complete Car Loans,” “CCL,” “we,” “us,” “our”) operates completecarloans.com and its dealer subdomains. This policy explains what we collect, why, who we give it to, and the choices you have.

The most important thing to understand: Complete Car Loans is a lead generation and matching service. We are not a lender, a dealer, or a broker, and we do not make credit decisions. When you submit an application, we provide your information to third-party dealers, lenders, and marketing partners, and we are paid for doing so. That is our business model. If you are not comfortable with your information being shared this way, please do not submit the form.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us directly through the application:

  • Name, mailing address, email address, and telephone number
  • Date of birth
  • Social Security number or ITIN
  • Employment status, employer, job title, and length of employment
  • Income amount and source
  • Housing status, monthly housing payment, and time at address
  • Vehicle preferences, trade-in details, and down payment amount
  • Self-reported credit standing, including bankruptcy and repossession history

Information collected automatically when you use the site:

  • IP address, device type, browser type, and operating system
  • Pages viewed, referring URL, timestamps, and session activity
  • Cookie, pixel, and advertising identifiers

Information we receive from third parties:

  • Consumer report and credit attribute data from consumer reporting agencies
  • Lead verification and consent-certificate data from our consent verification providers
  • Dealer and lender responses regarding your application

2. How we use your information

  • To match you with dealers, lenders, and financing partners
  • To verify your identity and evaluate eligibility
  • To contact you about your inquiry by phone, text message, and email
  • To prevent fraud, verify consent, and keep records required by law
  • To measure and improve advertising, site performance, and our services
  • To comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests

3. Credit inquiries — what actually happens

The initial steps of the application use a soft credit inquiry, which does not affect your credit score. A hard credit inquiry may be performed after final submission. In addition, any dealer or lender you are matched with may run its own inquiry under its own policies. Hard inquiries can lower your credit score.

We do not make credit decisions, and we do not guarantee that you will be approved or offered any particular rate or term.

4. Who we share your information with

We share the categories of information described in Section 1 with:

  • Dealers and lenders in our partner network, for the purpose of financing your vehicle. Your application may be provided to ONE dealer or lender.
  • Marketing partners and lead purchasers, who may contact you about related offers
  • Service providers: hosting, analytics, call tracking, CRM, consent certification, and fraud prevention
  • Consumer reporting agencies, as permitted by law
  • Legal recipients: in response to subpoenas, court orders, or lawful requests, and in connection with a merger, financing, or sale of assets

We sell and share personal information as those terms are defined under California and other state privacy laws. In the preceding 12 months, we disclosed the categories of information listed in Section 1 to the recipients listed above for monetary or other valuable consideration.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

5. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell
  • Access a copy of the personal information we hold about you

  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and of targeted advertising
  • Limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information, including your Social Security number
  • Appeal a denied request, where your state provides that right
  • Not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights

How to exercise your rights. Submit a request using either of the following methods:

We will verify your identity before acting on a request. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf with your written permission. We respond within 45 days, and may extend that period by an additional 45 days where permitted by law.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. To opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, use the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link, which also appears in the footer of every page of this site. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals as valid opt-out requests.

6. Your consent to be contacted

When you submit the application, you provide express written consent for Complete Car Loans and its dealer, lender, and marketing partners to contact you at the telephone number you provide, including by automatic telephone dialing system, artificial or prerecorded voice, and text message, even if that number appears on a federal or state Do Not Call list.

Consent is not a condition of purchase or of receiving any services or financing. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

To revoke consent, reply STOP to any text message, tell any caller to stop contacting you, or email [email protected]. Revocation applies to Complete Car Loans. Partners you have already been matched with must be contacted separately to stop their communications.
